Greek Original:Katatheein: katatrechein. hoi de Gêpaides, epei oupô ho tês machês eneistêkei kairos, peithousin autous katathein metaxu tên tôn Rhômaiôn chôran, parergon tês spheteras akairias pepoiêmenoi tên es Rhômaious epiboulên.
Notes:
[1] Same glossing in other lexica (and cf.
kappa 554). The uncontracted headword
kataqe/ein is presumably quoted from somewhere; perhaps
Procopius,
Secret History 11.6; in any event, seemingly not the quotation given here, which has
kataqei=n. The verb also appears at
kappa 550 and
kappa 551.
[2]
Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 8.18.16 (web address 1). For the Gepids cf.
gamma 243. In 551 CE, the Gepids persuade the Kutrigur Huns (cf.
kappa 2197) to attack the Romans' Danube River frontier; cf. Kaldellis (503),
alpha 3682, and
pi 2797.
